real electric supercharger?
Is there such thing as a real electric supercharger? There are alot of ebay ones which sell for $30+ and I looked at some of the seller's feedbacks and it looked like most people were satisfied about what they bought. I also googled Electric Supercharger and found this supercharger selling for $199. How would I know which one works and which one doesn't?
Thanks

haha... no... although r&d is getting closer...
the real problem with a real electric blower is that to build any real boost you need a motor (with a gearbox most likely) that has an initial current demand far exceeding the 12 volt system capabilities in the modern car...
now.. if we had 24 volt cars... that would be a whole different story.
